What a delight to see that video on Reggie again! Gratias tibi ago, Dne! He was one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. A Cardinal once told Reggie that when he heard him speak in Latin he sounded like a monument.

It would behoove your seminarians to enroll in his class. They may gain the perspicuity to avoid stupid situations. Latin does clear out the cobwebs. Alas, if one can’t do Latin, there’s always Canon Law, as we often heard during those sweltering summer afternoons in our class on the Janiculum.

For those who are really ambitious and likely to go steaming ahead there is the very prestigious Order of the Bath.. Have no idea who is most ready for that accolade..Some people are more likely to remain as foot soldiers. Not high-ranking but may be some people's preference.

The Irish church shall be practically effaced from view. Satan's ultimate humiliation and degradation of God's Holy Church is being effected by priest's and seminarian's indulging in the evil Grindr app and its like. This wholesale destruction of the real Faith is not being met with one word of protest by the bishops. These same bishops will be severely held to account for their cowardice and inaction. I am praying hard for them and would encourage any else who cares to do similar.

May God have mercy on the Irish Church and may He send us some brave, holy bishops.

Thank you for poster 12.17 for your excellent comment. Your concerns are very legitimate and indeed they should be the reason for all our prayers. (It is regrettable that you should be subjected to admonition by persons who don't appear to have your degree of maturity and good judgement)

Pat Look at the new canon lawyer for the xxxxxc Diocese Fr. Xxxxxxx and his partner Fr. Xxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxx likes to play dress up but he is big queen. They have been spotted on the beaches in Portugal :-)

Poster at 10.24 today says we are experiencing times when evil is called good and good evil.When he/she says that he quotes indirectly from Isaiah Ch. 5.The Biblical prophet sends a stark reminder of the woe that will follow our misguided foolishness.Why do we behave as if we were slick experts who have no time for God's ways?

Fr.O'Hagan has over the years sung many principal roles in light opera eg with Fortwilliam Musical Society in N Belfast and probably with St Agnes'Choral Society and maybe other groups too. The photo on the blog is almost certainly (judging by the costume which I would recognise) of him as the "Major General" in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance" I think that was what Pat was alluding to in the caption. There are a few other "soldier" roles that he might have been in but I think 'Pirates... "is most likely to be correct. Perhaps Pat, himself, will tell you more!
